DHL Freight re-launches Eurapid service


DHL Freight has extended its premium less-than-truckload (LTL) product, Eurapid, which is now available for 105 destinations in 22 European countries, handling international day-definite groupage shipments in main economic centres. DHL Freight Eurapid ensures priority treatment of shipments and thereby offers customers extremely short delivery times. The service for shipments up to 2,500kg now also compiles same-day pick-up. Furthermore, customers can now also book the value added service Pre12 delivery in selected areas. The enhancements are available as of July 2017.

“The DHL Freight Eurapid service complements our existing product portfolio with a premium groupage service for general cargo,” says Uwe Brinks, CEO DHL Freight. “The latest enhancements mark another step of our new strategy ‘Freight 2020’ with the clear set goal to offer the highest possible level of quality, speed and reliability within our services. For instance customers from the technology, textile and fashion industries demand higher frequencies and reliable processing. With the relaunch of DHL Freight Eurapid, we meet these requirements and connect Europe’s major markets seamlessly.”

DHL Freight Eurapid offers prioritised handling and scheduled door-to-door delivery on a daily basis while guaranteeing fast and reliable deliveries to 22 countries via 105 terminals. The service compiles priority handling of shipments throughout the entire journey, starting from the booking process, boarding to delivery. Customers also benefit from committed lead times and scheduled arrival days while standardised reports on delivery times extend the service. Shipping processes are accompanied by a dedicated customer service team. 

The DHL Freight Eurapid service is built on the backbone of the company’s Freight Euroconnect network, which operates on more than 2,000 international lines across Europe.
